[quote=Anonymous]Regarding “I’d love to see data showing that people are taking kids out for vacation or because it’s too cold.” I can definitely verify that when our social worker touches base with families, they often say they’re concerned about the cold and how that kept them from sending their kids. Or the rain. It’s not uncommon for kids to come from places in the world where school is not held during that weather, so that is what parents expect… until rather extensive outreach and relationship building help them learn otherwise. There are also trips that might not actually be vacations, per se, but visiting family in faraway places often takes kids out of school for long periods of time. Still other kids are brought to work with their parents on days when they don’t have any after-school care or transportation. So yes, there is (at least the potential for) real data to show that.[/quote]
